Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

REF : 115234

The Oyster Perpetual remains one of the world’s most instantly recognisable watches. The Oyster was first introduced to the world in 1926 and was so called because Hans Wilsdorf had much difficulty in opening an oyster shell at a dinner party. The Oyster has played an important role in the development of modern watches, and one was worn by Mercedes Gleitze during her swimming of the English Channel in October 1927.
